Physiological responses of Dunaliella salina and Dunaliella tertiolecta to copper toxicity

Species differences in heavy metal tolerance were investigated by comparing the responses of Dunaliella tertiolecta and Dunaliella salina to elevated concentrations of CuCl2. Although both species showed reduced cell number ml(-1) of algal culture, D. salina was more affected by increase in CuCl2. This reflects higher sensitivity of D. salina to CuCl2 compared to D. tertiolecta. Total chlorophyll in terms of microg ml(-1) was higher in D. tertiolecta at all tested CuCl2 levels, but in terms of microg cell(-1) no significant difference was observed between the two species. Total carotenoids in microg cell(-1) increased with increase in CuCl2 in both species and it was about five times higher in D. salina at all CuCl2 concentrations. While both species showed significant increase in lipid peroxidation at elevated CuCl2, the malondialdehyde content of D. salina cells was about three times higher at most CuCl2 concentrations. Although ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity increased with increase in CuCl2 levels in both species, higher activity was observed in D. tertiolecta at all tested CuCl2 concentrations. Cu content of D. salina cells was higher than D. tertiolecta which may be due to larger volume of D. salina cells. In conclusion, since hydroxyl radical (HO*) produced from H2O2 by Cu2+ (Haber-Weiss cycle) is involved in lipid peroxidation, higher ascorbate peroxidase activity in D. tertiolecta may partly account for lower sensitivity of this species to CuCl2 compared to D. salina.     

Sucrose biosynthesis in Dunaliella

Four independent kinds of observations indicate that the cell wall regenerated by oat (Avena sativa L.) and corn (Zea mays L.) protoplasts in culture is less well developed than that regenerated by tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) protoplasts. Following wall regeneration the cereal protoplasts remained susceptible to osmotic shock upon transfer to water, showed great enlargement, stained poorly with calcofluor white, and maintained a positive internal electrical potential. The development of a negative membrane potential by tobacco protoplasts in culture often occurred simultaneously with the onset of cell division. Since division was observed only in protoplasts which had regenerated good cell walls and had re-established negative membrane potentials it is suggested that culture conditions which favor these two processes should improve protoplast viability.     

Sucrose biosynthesis in Dunaliella

Sucrose phosphate synthetase (EC 2.4.1.14) is the key enzyme for sucrose synthesis in Dunaliella tertiolecta. It has been partially purified and characterized. The enzyme contains one binding site for uridine diphosphoglucose and two binding sites for fructose-6-phosphate; it is allosterically controlled by fructose-6-phosphate. Inorganic phosphate stimulates the enzymic activity, particularly in the presence of higher concentrations of fructose-6-phosphate. Sucrose phosphate synthetase is not halophilic or halotolerant. The temperature dependence of the enzymic activity cannot fully explain the observed increase in sucrose synthesis in Dunaliella by elevated temperature.Abbreviations F-6-P fructose 6-phosphate - UDP uridine biphosphate - UDPG uridine biphosphoglucose

Ion and Glycerol Concentrations in 12 Isolates of Dunaliella

Ginzburg, M., and Ginzburg, B. Z., 1985. Ion and glycerol concentrationsin 12 isolates of Dunaliella.—J. exp. Bot. 36: 1064–1074. Twelve isolates of Dunaliella with average cell volumes rangingfrom 50 to 1400x10^–18 m³ were grown in batch culture at0.5 M or 2.0 M NaCl. Glycerol and ions (Na⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺, CI^–,phosphate) were measured in log-phase cultures. The contentsof Mg²⁺, K⁺ and phosphate per cell were found to be a functionof cell-volume. Cell glycerol, Na⁺ and Cl^– were functionsof cell-volume and of the NaCl concentration in the medium.Solute concentrations were calculated from the measured cell-volumesand from the ³H₂O content of pellets corrected for intercellularspace using Blue Dextran. Cell glycerol was found to accountfor about one-half of the expected osmolarity, the remainderbeing largely accounted for by Na⁺ and CI^–. Key words: —Dunaliella, isolates, glycerol, ion concentrations     

Growth of Dunaliella tertiolecta and associated bacteria in photobioreactors

The aim of this study was to test three flat-plate photobioreactor configurations for cultivation of marine green alga Dunaliella tertiolecta under non-axenic growth conditions and to characterize and quantify the associated bacteria. The photobioreactor cultivations were conducted using tap water-based media. Static mixers intended to enhance mixing and light utilization did not generally increase algal growth at the low light intensities used. The maximum biomass concentration (measured as volatile suspended solids) and maximum specific growth rate achieved in the flat plate with no mixer were 2.9?g?l(-1) and 1.3?day(-1), respectively. Based on quantitative polymerase chain reaction, bacterial growth followed the growth of D. tertiolecta. Based on 16S rDNA amplification and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis profiling, heterotrophic bacteria in the D. tertiolecta cultures mainly originated from the non-axenic algal inocula, and tap water heterotrophs were not enriched in high chloride media (3?% salinity). Bacterial communities were relatively stable and reproducible in all flat-plate cultivations and were dominated by Gammaproteobacteria, Flavobacteria, and Alphaproteobacteria.     

Uptake and efflux of inorganic carbon in Dunaliella salina

The apparent photosynthetic K_m (CO₂) of air-grown Dunaliella salina is 2 M as measured both by the filtering centrifugation technique and by O₂ electrode. These cells are capable of accumulating inorganic carbon (C_inorg) up to 20 times its concentration in the medium. It is suggested that air-grown Dunaliella cells are able to concentrate CO₂ within the cell. Analysis of the efflux of C_inorg from cells previously loaded with H¹⁴CO ₃ ^- demonstrated the existence of an internal pool which has an half-time of depletion of 2.5–7 min depending on the conditions of the experiment. This finding indicates that the internal C_inorg pool is not readily exchangeable with the external medium. Furthermore, the influence of the presence or absence of unlabelled C_inorg in the medium during the efflux experiment on the half-time observed indicate that efflux of C_inorg is not a simple diffusion process but is rather carrier-mediated.Abbreviation C_inorg inorganic carbon
